SHANGRALA'S
DOG
WATER
FETCH!
Here's Some Of His Amazing Photography Art. Enjoy! :)
You may think you know what a dog looks like when it dives into a swimming pool
to fetch a ball, but then you see these astonishing underwater images by photographer Seth Casteel: It's a startling frenzy of teeth, jowls, eyes and claws -
revealing the intense determination of a dog having fun - even underwater!
Casteel decided to start shooting dogs underwater when he was asked to do a
portrait of a King Charles spaniel who wouldn't stay out of his owner's pool.
A selection of the Californian's images went viral and now he's getting calls
from all over the world to do underwater pet portraits.
The dogs all dive in voluntarily, Casteel says.
Casteel initially used a simple point-and-shoot camera.
He was able to catch them having fun.
Casteel holds his breath while he sits in the pool.
He wears a snorkel mask while shooting.
He's taken photos of more than
60 dogs in a range of different U.S. states.
Casteel has flown to Australia to do diving dog portraits.
His pictures are so popular
he's gotten calls from 25 different countries.
"They want to fly me in just for a photoshoot,"
he says. "It's unbelievable."
Casteel uses toys that sink at different
rates in order to get the shots he needs.
The images were posted to Reddit and Google+...
...and now Casteel's phone is ringing off the hook.
Casteel only shoots dogs who love the water...
And he never shoots pets in a studio.
Of Course, There Are Some Dogs
Who Just Don't Like Water...
